RESULTS OF SEED TESTS
Made July 1, 1929, to June 30, 1930

This report contains the results of the inspection for the
State Department of Agriculture of three hundred seventy-
five official samples collected throughout the State during
the period from July 1, 1929, to June 30, 1930. These were
analyzed and the results mailed to the retail dealers. In
addition to these official samples, thirty-five private samples
were analyzed, making a total of four hundred ten samples
inspected.

The seed law does not prohibit the sale of poor seed but
it does require that all seed be labelled to show its quality.
The buyer is therefore protected. The purpose of the seed
inspection work is to determine, within reasonable limits,
whether m sample of seed is as good as it is guaranteed
to be.

A certain amount of variation is to be expected in com-
paring the results of two or more purity analyses. For this
reason a "tolerance'' or variation is allowed in accordance
with the following formula, applied to the guarantee given.
The sample is considered as being made up of two parts,
the one being the pure seed and the other the balance of the
sample. The tolerance in per cent allowed for each part is
two-tenths of 1 per cent plus 20 per cent of the lesser part.
For instance, if a sample is guaranteed 99.60 '"^ pure seed,
it may test as low as 99.32% or as high as 99.88 'a and
would be "satisfactory." In the same way, a sample guar-
anteed 92.80 'X may test as low as 91.17% or as high as
94.43% and be "satisfactory." If a sample is found to be
better than the highest figure in the tolerance, it is marked
"Above" in this bulletin; if lower than the lowest figure,
the actual figure is reported.

A wider tolerance for germination than for purity is

2 X. II. Experiment Station*

allowed between the results of the test and the guarantee,
as follows:

Guarantee Allowable variation

% r %

90 or over 6

80 or over but less than 90 7

70 or over but less than 80 8

60 or over but less than 70 9

Less than 1)0 10

Accordingly, a sample guaranteed 92% germination is
"satisfactory" if it tests 86 'a to 98 '^i-. A sample guaranteed
Sb''/c may fall as low as 78% or as high as 92%. If a
sample tests higher than the per cent of variation allowed
it. is marked "Above" in this bulletin or, if it tests below
the variation allowed, the actual figure is reported.

The summary table on the last page will show the general
results of the seed inspection work for the year ending
June 30, 1930. A large proportion of the samples were
found to be satisfactory but in purity more samples of
Hungarian and Japanese millet were found to be "below"
their guarantees than last year, and in germination the
same was true of Japanese millet and Timoth}-. Last year
88 %• of all samples were found satisfactory or better in
purity and 83%) were found satisfactory or better in ger-
mination. This year the corresponding figures are 86%'
and 80%'. While these figures perhaps are not alarming,
they show a trend in the wrong direction.

The services of Mr. Leroy J. Higgins, Instructor in
Agronomy, who ably assisted the writer with the analytical
work in the laboratory, are herewith acknowledged.
